To fight the Barbarians I propose in a rough way

To get the funds

It is the best plan that the six Confederations (6 market places) keep together as we have here. But the outlay for the soldiers should not be collected by an extraordinary field tax. It is also not right that the various Confederations should pay the cost.

Some of these places have a large population and many fields. In these places it could be arranged in this way, but for instance, Thong Lak (alias market of peace) could not do this. It is a small place & there is not always a large population. How can we follow these orders?

To say that the head village of this rising should pay all the expenses is also not right. The Barbarians are not only preparing to fight Ngan Tin (alias Pan Tin), they will go on to the other villages. What is then to be done?

We should use the usual field tax. Let first the six Confederations come together to ask our Government for help. Will the soldiers not come to help us? Then let us ask the mandarin not for the present to collect the field tax that we can use the money to meet the barbarians. This would not be rebellious.

Afterwards, in peaceful times, we could pay our duties to the Government.

Should the Government not have compassion with us to fight against it, nothing would be left than to postpone our plans & go on without definite resolutions.

This is the best plan I can...
